The Ghost and the Bottle.

One bitter cold night, when the moon shone
bright,
And the stars were dancing with glee,
Patricio o'Teole, who'd been playing the fool.

He threw himself down on the heaving ground.
As 1t rolled like the waves of sea,
And proceeded to splice the main brace up,
All alone on the wild praires.
SO he pulled out his bottle and gave ii shake,
And smiled when he found 1t was full,
Saying. The wind it Is cowld. may be SO bowld
As to drink to you. Mister O'Toele2
30 he tilted it mp, but nary . sup
Would the bottle give up to he;
And the moon shsne bright on the cork that
WAS tight,
As we'll Patriotic OFT.
And this is the song that the lost man sang:
"who will open the bottle for mef
In ttis cursed land there Is pething but sand
Not rock on the wild prairse -
The sound of his voice had quavering trill.
That ran uY in the minor key.
Then suddenly fell. like q Lost soul in hell,
Back again Till II struck low &C."
But Whist became of the bottle and Pat.

But ghost 10 seen. dressed in Light pea green.
And nose Of purple hue.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3O.-The amount of
bonds offered at the Treasury Department
today was less than any day since the

at the Department as indicating that

obtained at the rates fixed by the Depart

licvcd Tor the present. The s. 100000 still

piled at any time before July l. next, so no

Der, who stood them up in row alongside
the road and incased the head Of each in A
long oil-cloth cap, so completely covering
the face that his operations could not
be observed. When he had done this
he proceeded to relieve them Of
thelr cash and valuables. To
one Of his victims who demonstrated when
his watch was taken he replied that he
would restore all the watches if he made
good haul. When he had completed his
round and footed up the receipts the
watches and jewelry of the eight victims
were all restored showing that the robber
was satisfied with his cash receipts.
When he had finished robbng the first
party he kept the victims under cover OF
his pistol until the stage from
Ballinger, bound to San Angelo,
hove in sight, when he re.
moved the caps and ordered the party to
stand in their places. He then moved off
down the road, halted the second stage,
and went through the passengers, as in
the first instance. Permitting this stage
TO resume its way, he returned to his first,
tossed them the oil-cloth caps with which
their heads had been covered, ordered
them to resume their position in the stage,
and then accompanied them a portion of
the way toward Ballingcr, when he bade
his victims farewell and disappeared over
the moonlit prairie.
